Artist Statement: In tribute to American pianist and composer Zenobia Powell Perry, my Sing for Hope Piano is titled "Z.P. Puffs." Zenobia composed a wide range of music, from piano pieces to an opera. The graphic color scheme was inspired by piano keys and my memories of learning to read sheet music. The “Puff Notes” allow me to share my signature illustration style. “Puffs” began as doodles inspired by natural hair and have become a staple in my work.
